Results for 'GBP/USD'

Today unofficially marks the start of the new year for many traders after long holiday breaks, but looking at the price action in the market, it still feels like 2014. King Dollar is climbing across the board, oil is extending its losses, inflation continues to fall in the Eurozone, and bond yields are dropping the world over, echoing many of the key stories from last year. Another major theme throughout the second half of

The start of 2015 looks very familiar to the end of 2014 for many markets around the world as the USD continues to dominate the spectrum and commodity prices fall even further. Or as my colleague Matt Weller so poetically stated already this morning, “New Year, Same Result.” While the EUR/USD is grabbing a lot of the headlines this morning for reaching a 4.5 year low on the back of comments from European Central

“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep

The pound has fallen across the board this morning with GBP/USD hitting its lowest level since September 2013. Sterling fell in response to some weaker-than-expected data from the UK. Although the third quarter GDP was left unrevised at an enviable 0.7%, the year-on-year rate was revised down to 2.6% from an initial 3% estimate. Still, this was probably not the main reason why the pound fell back today; rather, it was the unexpected surge in

The pound has rallied against the dollar despite news inflation has fallen to a 12-year low in the UK. Although the fall in the headline CPI to just 1% in November from 1.3% in October may not be a big surprise because of the recent drop in oil prices, the fact that core CPI has also unexpectedly fallen sharply – to 1.2% from 1.5% – may be a sign for concern. Nevertheless, the lower inflation

Early North American trade has been anything but smooth this morning as equity markets from around the globe have been a little tumultuous. China kicked off the pain brigade with a 5.4% drop in a Shanghai Index, but the misery didn’t stop there. While not quite as severe as the Shanghai, the Aussie 200 didn’t fare well, down over 1.5%, and the Hang Seng gave up 2.3% as well. Europe and the US has followed

More cynical traders jokingly refer to the release of the November NFP report as “the unofficial end of the trading year,” due to the tendency for volume and volatility to recede heading into the traditional mid- and late-December holiday period. While we expect there will still be plenty of market-moving events for traders to capitalize on over the last three weeks of this year (the December Fed meeting will undoubtedly be a source of volatility,

It is set to be a big day for the pound. We have already seen the release of some positive UK data in the form of the services PMI, which climbed to 58.6 in November from 56.2 the month before and easily surpassed expectations of 56.6. Later on today, George Osborne will take centre stage as he delivers the Autumn Forecast Statement. My colleague Kathleen Brooks has already written a preview for this HERE.

Today is Osborne’s big day, if you missed this from earlier this week, get our take on what to expect and the potential impact on UK markets below. The Autumn statement ahead of a General Election is usually a treasure trove of giveaways as Chancellors’ desperately do their bit to woo the electorate. However, this Wednesday at approx. 1230 GMT/ 0730 ET when UK Chancellor George Osborne takes to the stage at the House of
